I have a Custom Ovation Balladeer Acoustic/Electric 12 String guitar and fitted case that I would like to trade for a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EOS mount lens.

Guitar is in excellent shape and plays with a rich, warm, LOUD tone. I have always wanted this guitar, and after a few years with it, I finally have to come to the realization that I am not a 12 string guitarist...

It comes with a fitted Ovation case which looks a little scraped on the outside, but is beautiful on the inside. Guitar is a nice, snug fit inside. Great protection.

It is a USA made model 1755 with a rare Ivory or Bone finish top. Sitka spruce top, ebony fretboard, pearl inlays, deluxe pearloid/chrome machine heads, walnut bridge, 25 1/4" scale with a 1 7/8" nut width. Piezoelectric pickup, 3 band EQ and volume control.

Hard decision to part with it, but I know I'll get much more use out of a new lens. I'll also sell outright for net $600 to me.

One last note; I had a IXOYE sticker ("christian fish") on the top, behind and below the bridge. I've since removed it and there is a very faint outline of the previous position of the sticker. It may or may not rub out or fade away. Not sure...
